I don’t see Jesus, so it ain’t over.
-
No rapture in the Bible. Read the Greek!
-
This might be the beginning of the end of the CHURCH AGE. It had to come. Why not through the closing of the churches? Make sense to me. The next event on Gods timetable is THE RAPTURE…Hallelujah
-
The holy writ commands us to be ready at all times. Fill your lamps while you still can. Come what may, all things are ordained from the Lord.
-
No.
-
Yeah, not quite “as in the days of Noah”…
-
Bruh so long as the Middle East isn’t at peace Jesus ain’t landing there
-
The 2nd Coming of Christ is when believers, called the elect in numerous places, are “caught up to meet him.” Read 1st Corinthians 15:51-54….”at the LAST trumpet.” 2nd Peter 3:10 makes it clear that the “thief in the night” event is at the END of the Tribulation…not the beginning. Matthew 24…read all of it…look for the “gathering of the elect”…vs 29…2nd Thessalonians 2:1…”the coming of our Lord AND our being gathered to him.” Paul COMBINES the 2nd Coming and gathering (“rapture”). I was a Pre-trib guy until I prayerfully, carefully studied the Bible.

The Body of Christ isn’t the subject of prophecy. So, nothing today can be the fulfillment of prophecy. However, post-rapture events are the subject of prophecy and so it’s certainly possible that the stage for some of those events could be set in motion prior to the rapture of the Body of Christ. I’m just very very cautious of slipping into newspaper exegesis.
Just my thoughts.
With Much Affection in His Grace, -
Leading up to the most recent days here I have been reminded of Jonah’s story. So many strayed away and here times like this He wants us to seek Him out. So many will see His glory and grace through the healing and pain. Many will be saved just like in Jonah’s story.
-
The MOST common point you can find in EVERY section of scripture that talks about the rapture is “let no one deceive you”.
This isn’t the end.
-
I believe that this is just a prelude to far worse things before the tribulation.
-
I haven’t quite figured out yet where I land as far as eschatology goes. Having said that, I can see how the collapse of the whole world’s economy could create the conditions necessary for a global leader to emerge, and we already have the technology to mark and track people, so I’m going to take Jesus’s advice and watch and pray.

I think it is… if this vaccine / chip goes through it will destroy humanity. From what I heard, gates has a plan from his ID 2030 there will be no more babies born naturally they will all be designed. He’s also pushing for lab created food. It’s apparently stated on the world economic forum.

Lord give us discernment and wisdom,
-
Not sure but always be ready the signs are coming the birthing pains are here but we dont know when we fly
-
It is another form of virus that requires a form of medication relevant to it. Our Lord God creates only once (Genesis 1)..the doctors of all sorts and their assistance, and everything as cure and everything to cure.
Therefore, do not worry. Do not stress. Cure is on the way. Yours is to read the books on a lower shelf (Matthew 6:1-13). Do not stop until something happens.
-
A couple of schools of thought are out there on the rapture and/or if there is such a thing as a rapture. We are exhorted to be ready and about the Kingdom’s business. All this other stuff will take care of itself and is beyond our control.
-
I don’t think this is even close to how it will
be in the end. And I don’t believe in the rapture; like in the days of Noah, you will want to be the ones left behind and not swept away.. -
Jesus promised that He would return to Earth to take His people to be with Him. He said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also (John 14:1-3, NKJV).
-
Think of it more as a move on a chess board. A consolidation of goods and services into the hands of a few global companies and a weakening and killing of the local supplier.
-
Luke21:11 “and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places PLAGUES and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
-
The world is reaping what it has sown.
-
Run up to the one world order. I could easily see the government using this as a way to put a new mountain of laws and procedures in place for better control.

In spreading Christ’s aroma, I’ve been a lot of places
Stood on many stages, seen a lot of faces
One question I’ve heard a thousand and ten times
“Yo Shai, tell me what’s your thoughts on the end times?”
In certain circles, I get all kinds of looks
When I tell them I disagree with the Left Behind books
Some get hostile, I tell them it’s not the gospel
Plus we shouldn’t take our theology from a novel
Or tradition- no need for tension or division
Because many Christians have embraced different positions
I do have a view, but I admit I could be wrong
This is secondary to the gospel we agree on
So this is non-essential bro, I’ll still defend it though
I hold to the view known as Amillennial
Songs this is not typical, it’s difficult
But I intend to show you exactly why it’s BiblicalWe in the last days, it’s the end times
No time for the spiritually thin rhymes
Yeah, gotta infiltrate your section
With Christ’s death, burial and resurrection
And when He comes back, see the sky crack
Where you at? Yeah, it’s like that
And when He comes back, see the sky crack
Where you at? Where you at?So what do I mean when I say Amillennial?
It’s kind of complicated, I’ll try to keep it simple though
The primary Scriptural passage for meditation
Is found in the 20th chapter of Revelation
According to the Amillennial interpretation
Christ’s death on the cross greatly hindered the works of Satan
Bound him so he could no longer deceive the nations
John 12: 31- See the correlation?
Revelation 20 4 explains the present
Reign of the faithful beheaded saints in heaven
And that’s the point- Christ reigns from where He’s at now
At the right hand of the Father since He sat down
Ruling in the midst of His enemies, they’re hostile
Extending His Kingdom through the spread of the gospel
But when’s the millennium? You might find it pretty stunning
The whole time between Jesus first and second coming
His first coming was the kingdom inaugurated
His second coming will be the kingdom consummated
And yes, there’s a rapture- still, this is clear
The rapture doesn’t mean Christians will disappear
It means they’ll be caught up, changed in a moment
The blessing of all who’ve been saved through atonement
His coming won’t be secret though and this is a fact
When Jesus comes back, it’s a wrap!The New Testament speaks of two ages, son
That’s the present evil age and the age to come
This age has murder, hate, we yearn and wait
The next age? A burning lake, eternal state
One question to ask if you hold a different view
Which age does the things you’re reading about fit into?
Something for your study I want to share and give
Revelation contains seven parallel narratives
And what they’re describing? Again it’s pretty stunning
The time between Christ’s first and second coming
The thousand year reign is not literal or physical
But Christ will return in full glory and visible
A few final comments, some food for thought
Keep your eyes on Christ, not the news reports
And even if we disagree, true believers hum with me
Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly! -
We’ve had worse pandemics and the world still kept going.
-
I believe this virus thing is real “entrance” to the age of the beast from book of revelation. I believe it is a tool of Satan how to establish one word government, new world order. Destruction of small businesses all over the world and give all power to corporations. Pope Francis, great blasphemer, pushes for one word religion hard, for years now. We should think about what is going on, yes, but do not fear. Our primary focus is for us to know who God is. My point is that no matter what will happen, if we know Who God is we will not be shaken by anything that comes our way. Blessed be our God and all brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord and savior
-
Prayer in the White House. The President asking for prayer, thanking for prayers. It’s a hopeful time too.
-
Let’s not get stupid or ridiculous it’s only a virus
-
God is showing His power and giving the world one last chance to repent before the the rapture and tribulation. His wrath will be released in less than two years IMHO.
-
The last days are a part of history. The rapture and Jesus’s 2nd coming already happened in 70AD
-
We are not at war with flesh and blood, I think we are being groomed to accept things we wouldn’t normal accept as life.
-
While this current virus has nothing to do with the end times, I’m disappointed that people (in the US) so quickly trade thier constitutional rights and bow to the whims of disorganized Government opinions. This makes it easier to see how after the Rapture, with hundreds of millions suddenly missing the world will be quick to look to the Antichrist as “the answer”
-
These are the birth pangs. They will increase in frequency until the lawless one is revealed.
-
No
-
May be beginning but not the end yet. Stay alert for what happens in Israle and US. Read Daniel , the Gospels and Revelation.
-
A careful study of the scripture will reveal that the rapture will not take place until after the Anti-Christ is revealed.
-
it’s a lie
-
Only he knows. But it definitely is politics pushed on by intel agencies and agendas…
-
for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 -
There have been pandemics in the past that were more lethal, but these are birth pains of the end. The technology is here for the mark of the beast. Immorality is at an all time high. God is tired of these abominations like female pastors marrying each other, or allowing botched aborted babies to die on a table. Not saying Covid is God’s judgment, but he is angry and coming speedily. I think everything is lining up. There is nothing to stop the rapture from happening at any moment.
-
The end of what? The end the bible speaks of is the end of the old covenant age, that’s what the last days were all about, it has nothing to do with our time. Acts 2:17, Heb. 1:1 and many more.
-
What has happened there have been some idolatry and mockery made of God. When you open gates for demonic activity you will see these type of warnings from God. We serve a jealous God. He stated there will not be no other gods. Thats why Gods children better not take thete eyes off the true and living God. This is only the beginning of sorrows
-
Nah we’re not getting away that easy
-
not the end rapture at least 4 yrs away
-
Jesus will come like a thief in the night. I don’t think any of us has the timing figured out. Many theories. Few clues. Be ready!
-
It’s not the end. Revelation and other books like it have been misinterpreted.
-
We do not know timings and the day, BUT We know the season – This is that season: Diseases, Plans of wars, Abundance of the Word of God..just to mention but a few.
-
Is the rapture the same as the end of the world
-
There is no secret rapture and it is a theory going back to the early 1800s and never before taught, preached, or believed in prior to that. Before looking up the scriptures that “support” it, look up its origin history online and then read the scriptures that “support” it but read them in full context. Check out “Unlearn the Lies” YouTube channel and listen to the ones regarding the rapture. That is a great place to start. Remember, pre, mid, post trib (mostly pre and mid) are theories/dogma and not doctrine. They can’t all be right, the only the thing we can truly take to the bank is the second coming of Christ!
